A thriller is hard to define. Many films may seem to be a thriller but have other genre's.

  • Source Code
  • Bourne Identity
  • Fatal Attraction
  • Phone booth
  • etc.



Susan Hayward said in a book entitled Key Concepts in Film Studies... "Thriller is a difficult genre to pin down because it covers such a wide range of films. Thrillers are films of suspense... that are supposed to instil terror in the audience." 
ere are various different types of thrillers including:
  • Spy thrillers
  • Political thrillers
  • Conspiracy thrillers
  • Legal thrillers 
  • Psychological thrillers
